A certain forest covers an area of 2000 km2. Suppose that each year this area decreases by 5.5%. What will the area be after 8 years? Round your answer to the nearest square kilometer.

the monthly balance will be $75,000

i think that you should ask google for the answer to that problem because if we don't know it google does

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
